In the Shadow of the Buddha - Tibetan Nuns


The world of Buddhist nuns is much less well known than that of male monks.

She finds evidence of a male dominated patriarchal culture which has seen much of their work and devotion marginalised and oppressed but the female spirit emerges strong and emboldened with love.
